Group exercise of drawing panels that create a never ending sequence of a story :

The most important thing in this exercise was that each panel had to have a joining point which if at any given stage it were to be placed in a different spot, the story would still make sense. The overall panels that were created in our group, were firstly planned together which was a refreshing approach and I believe all of us achieved this sense of teamwork very well. Our theme in the end was mostly Brighton University life at campus and in halls of residence, from a students point of view. We had a few main characters to set the story in each panel and what I like the most is that in our group specifically, we began our first panel with a time limit of two minutes each. After every two minutes, the panel would be handed to the person who was sitting next to you which then would add more to the drawing that the person previously had already drawn on, creating a very unique, stylised scenario. On our second panel each, we decided to be more personalised, therefore we spent more time on detail and perfecting each panel so the sequences would match and make sense regardless of where they were situated. Throughout this process we also had breaks of matching and mixing all the panels together in a line to make sure that there were no glitches or missed mistakes as we went along. I had wished we made each panel stand out a little bit more by using bolder media such as a marker or perhaps added colour to give the myriorama more character and a sense of atmosphere. Although, working in a group environment definitely helps me get out of my head a lot more and brings a sense of satisfaction to have created something as a collective rather than just by myself, which can often be the case for a lot of people in the industry of illustration.
